I went to File, Save as Audio File..., I tried Standard Audio File and then also Compressed MP3 File, and when I clicked Save, it said "Could not create the audio file (the file may be in use by another application)." both times.
Am I doing something wrong? or is there another way to do this? (is this a problem for mac users only?).
Thanks.
You could try this two ways - exporting a MIDI file from Finale and importing that into GB, or generate an audio file from Finale and bring that into GB as pure audio.
With MIDI, you'll have more flexibility to tweak the sounds in GB, although there may be a mapping issue if the MIDI notes Finale has assigned to the drums doesn't coincide out of the box with GB's drum sounds.
With audio, once you generate the audio file out of Finale, it can't help but work in GB. However, once Finale burns the audio file, it's frozen for all of eternity.
I"m not sure why you're having a hard time generating an audio file from Finale, or if that's a limitation of the version you have. I have full blown finale and it pretty much does what I ask, but if there's an option that's not grayed out, that should work for you too (I would think).
How is Finale generating the sound? I"m not at my "Finale computer" but you can choose whether it "plays" Quicktime sounds, Garritan samples, etc. Perhaps you could change the playback sounds and see if that helps.
